Diamonds films have characteristics that are interesting for many optical applications, such as transparency to ultraviolet, visible and infrared light. These applications include use in detectors and windows in processes that involve high temperatures, microelectronics applications and wear-resistant components [. Polycrystalline diamond films can be made in the vapor phase at low-pressure, relatively low temperatures and in the form of auto-supported films, using the CVD process (Chemical Vapor Deposition) [. These films have a significant number of industrial applications, but often have problems with adhesion to metallic substrates. Diamond films can be deposited directly over some metals, but other techniques, such as brazing, can be used [.

Semiconducting diamond films have the potential for use as a material in which to build active electronic devices capable of operating at high temperatures or in high radiation environments. A major goal of current device-related diamond research is to achieve a high quality epitaxial film on an inexpensive, readily available, non-native substrate. One step in the process of achieving this goal is understanding the nucleation and growth processes of diamond films on diamond substrates. Electron microscopy has already proven invaluable for assessing polycrystalline diamond films grown on nonnative surfaces.The quality of the grown diamond film depends on several factors, one of which is the quality of the diamond substrate. Substrates commercially available today have often been found to have scratched surfaces resulting from the polishing process (Fig. 1a). Electron beam-induced current (EBIC) imaging shows that electrically active sub-surface defects can be present to a large degree (Fig. 1c). Growth of homoepitaxial diamond films by rf plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) has been found to planarize the scratched substrate surface (Fig. 1b).

Thin diamond film coated WC-Co cutting tool inserts were produced using arc-jet and hot-filament chemical vapor deposition. The diamond films were characterized using SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy to examine crystal structure, fracture mode, thickness, crystalline orientation, diamond quality, and residual stress. The performance of the tools was evaluated by comparing the wear resistance of the materials to brazed polycrystalline diamond-tipped cutting tool inserts (PCD) while machining A390 aluminum (18% silicon). Results from the experiments carried out in this study suggest that the wear resistance of the thin diamond films is primarily related to the grain boundary strength, crystal orientation, and the density of microdefects in the diamond film.

The distribution of substrate temperature plays a decisive role on the uniformity of polycrystalline diamond films on cemented carbide tools with a long flute, prepared by a hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). In this work, the heat dissipation mode at the bottom of tools is a focal point, and the finite volume method (FVM) is conducted to simulate and predict the temperature field of tools, with the various materials of the holder placed under the tools. The simulation results show that the thermal conductivity of the holder affects the temperature difference of the individual tools greatly, but only affects the temperature of different tools at the same XY plane slightly. Moreover, the ceramic holder can reduce the difference in temperature of an individual tool by 54%, compared to a copper one. Afterwards, the experiments of the deposition of diamond films is performed using the preferred ceramic holder. The diamond coatings on the different positions present a highly uniform distribution on their grain size, thickness, and quality.

In the last decade, besides the breakthrough of high-rate growth of chemical vapor deposited single-crystal diamonds, numerous nanostructured diamond films have been rapidly developed in the research fields of the diamond-based sciences and industrial applications. The low-dimensional diamonds of two-dimensional atomic-thick nanofilms and nanostructural diamond on the surface of bulk diamond films have been theoretically and experimentally investigated. In addition, the diamond-related hybrid nanostructures of n-type oxide/p-type diamond and n-type nitride/p-type diamond, having high performance physical and chemical properties, are proposed for further applications. In this review, we first briefly introduce the three categories of diamond nanostructures and then outline the current advances in these topics, including their design, fabrication, characterization, and properties. Finally, we address the remaining challenges in the research field and the future activities.

ABSTRACTDiamond films were deposited by chemical vapor deposition using a radio- frequency induction plasma operating at 130 torr. Linear growth rates of polycrystalline diamond films ranged from 18 to 37 μm h-1. For a fixed substrate temperature of 1000°C the input methane-hydrogen ratio was varied from 2% to 10%. Over this range the resulting film morpologies changed from faceted ball-like structures to well-faceted diamond, then to non-faceted balls, and for the well- faceted films increases in methane-hydrogen ratio caused the film texture to shift toward the <100> direction. During these experiments gas sampled through an orifice in the center of the substrate was delivered to a gas chromatograph for measurement of stable hydrocarbon species. As the input methane-hydrogen ratio was increased the measured methane-acetylene ratio decreased. The gas chromatograph measurements showed marked differences from measurements made for an RF reactor with somewhat different flow geometry operating at atmospheric pressure.
